Dear [redacted]: It is my understanding from your phone call and email that the documentation I uploaded for rebuttal to GoDaddy’s response to my complaint were not received in good order. Included below is my consumer rebuttal in response to the offer provided from GoDaddy for complaint #[redacted], in which GoDaddy states that rather than charging me $150.00 for reassembling my website, they will only charge me $75.00 to do so. This is in light of the fact that the payment for the website was only 20 days late, the payment was to occur during the holiday season when many people are frantically trying engage in the relatively rare annual exercise of committing time primarily, if not solely to family celebration — and that disconnecting my website from the domain link is reasonable and sufficient for such a lack of payment, whereas deleting all my material from the server after such a short period of time is overly punitive and serves to take advantage of people during a vulnerable time in their lives. Also, it is disproportionately discriminatory in multiple ways. GoDaddy states that deleting the entire website was not intended as a punitive measure. Regardless of intention, in practice, it is a punitive measure. My website is small. There is no monetary or business reason for GoDaddy to delete the files from the server before 30 days, other than to financially take advantage of customers’ vulnerability during the holiday season. Furthermore, these terms are sexist. I am a cycling female, and while I have to juggle the holidays, and indigence, and unemployment, and feeding and sheltering myself, and dealing with the male-dominated system that has put me in and perpetuates my situation, and the holidays, and the male-instigated divorce I was so sadly reminded of on December 23 when I received my second notice, I also have to deal with the added consequence of having my hormones and therefore regions of my brain change in size and function over the course of every month. These changes affect learning, memory, and motivation across an entire month, and physiologically, can lead to altered states of consciousness multiple times a month, and fatigue for a fourth of every month. It is unethical that a corporation in a field dominated by men (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, or STEM), is allowing an automated system to put in place what are by consequence overly punitive measures for me, a cycling woman, and with which, if any other person with said life circumstances was confronted, would think and behave the same way. Because you are in a male-dominated field, and because I worked in a male-dominated STEM field for 20+ years, I strongly recommend you heed my voice here. It is also discriminatory based on age. As I alluded to above, I received my second notice on the anniversary of my ex-husband’s filing for divorce behind my back. On average, people typically have fewer psychological traumas with which to contend, the younger they are in their lifespan. As time passes, more psychological traumas accrue. Psychological traumas have significant effects on people’s behavior. Being 44 years old, I am more likely to have more psychological traumas that would require me to pause momentarily, to distract myself from reliving the trauma, and the like, than a person in their twenties. As far as contracts go, I am a very reasonable, educated person, and familiar with the law. From this vantage point, I can tell you this contractual term isn't really viable. It's not like you're a lost-and-found, and I lost my gloves at your restaurant, and it is up to the whims of your employees whether or not I get my gloves back. You are a company, responsible for ethical treatment in the realm of the particular service you are providing. Furthermore, I have the content, I just no longer have the software with which to upload it, for a variety of reasons related to my indigence. If this is part of your contract, it is a poor tax and not an ethical part of your service, and you need to change it. And finally, this gives me the opportunity to elucidate in other pragmatic ways how your actions are in practice overly punitive, and appear to simply constitute the opportunity to lord your possession of user content, over consumers’ heads. You should check back with the website owner before deleting their content, by phone, leaving a message, and providing three days to respond. After the third email notification, which I received, you should provide me three days to respond. I attempted to reply the following day, and you had already deleted all my web content. This is unacceptable. There was no reason for you to delete all my web content. All you had to do, was break the link. Here, this clarifies the following: GoDaddy should have in place multiple steps or stages in disconnecting service. Break the link, and email the customer with notification, without deleting content to the server. This provides the customer a chance to see that their website is down. Keep the content on the server for three months. Deleting the content, especially when the number of files is so small and the total space taken up is also so small, is unethical and solely for monetary gain from vulnerable people. I've never heard of anything so abrupt in my life. It's wrong. This contributes to the slow chipping away of my identity as a scientist. I demand that my website put back for free. Also, I was not impressed with the lying of your representative, saying I'd been sent eight emails (see attached). That was absolutely untrue. I was sent three emails. My website involves sensitive content regarding a civil rights complaint that affects my ability to work as an academician. I have a PhD and I am indigent and living in government-assisted housing. If you want to continue to oppress me by this overly punitive approach, you may encounter being lumped into the side of the oppressor. If you want to verify that I was an academician, or that I was married, or that I had a civil rights complaint, it's all in my web content. Everything in my life is like this. I receive unacceptable and terms and actions virtually every day of my life, and your poor business practices are just another addition to a very aversive and ugly pile, so I am very upset. It is terrorizing, traumatizing, and stressful. In the chance that you are truly attempting to provide me with a condition that you think is fair, I appreciate you going down to $75. Please understand, however, from my vantage point, and from the standpoint of ethical business practices, that it is not. You are not a loan shark business. Please behave in the manner of a reputable business practice, so that you can attain and maintain an air or reputability. Please put by website back for free, and give me the monthly ~$10/ mo payment for keeping it posted. I am happily willing to pay the fees that have passed since my website was deleted.

On February 18, 2016, following GoDaddy’s second failed attempt to renew the service, our customer contacted our support team requesting to re-initiate their website services. Our customer purchased a new Website Design plan for a one-year term which utilizes our newer, next-generation platform. As a courtesy due to the health circumstances our customer mentioned, GoDaddy waived $1,056.90 in design and hosting fees.RESOLUTION:GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.GoDaddy’s design team attempted to work with our customer to the best of our ability and satisfy their design needs. Our customer’s February 8, 2015 Website Design Service purchase is non-refundable.

This is getting absolutely ridiculous. Does GoDaddy even read the content of emails sent to them, or even this complaint? We are ABSOLUTELY not a third party, as evidenced by the cancellation notices coming to us (attached), and I have sent the requested verification (also attached) 5 TIMES! Again, even in response to this complaint, I'm receiving the SAME AUTOMATED EMAIL, with no opportunity to deal with anyone that can help. If this is not resolved IMMEDIATELY we will be taking legal action. You have put our company at risk, and it is beyond unacceptable. SEND THIS UP YOUR CHAIN OF COMMAND. NOW.

This GODADDY account referenced was closed in 2013. GODADDY has a record of that call we made to close the account but now says they did not "validate" that account was closed. The email address that GODADDY says they sent renewals to was connected to the closed business and domain that was closed in 2013. Any emails sent would have bounced back from that closed web page. There has been no use of this account for more than 4 years. It is not right the GODADDY can just ignore the cancellation request made in 2013 and just begin charging the customer for services not delivered. It is also not true that there is a charge back pending on this account. GODADDY has been paid for services not requested or needed for the years 2017 thru 2022. I was also told that the account will not be closed until they are paid for the next 5 years. Why should we pay for 5 more years for services that were cancelled 4 years ago.This seems to be a bate and switch tactic being used by GODADDY. They show we called to cancel the account but then say they didn't cancel the account because they didn't validate the account. GODADDY has the ability to see there has been no activity on the account yet are going to charge for 5 more years. The statements presented in the response are not factual, and charging for services in the future that will not be used is not in keeping with customer protection laws.

Dear [redacted]: It is my understanding from your phone call and email that the documentation I uploaded for rebuttal to GoDaddy’s response to my complaint were not received in good order. Included below is my consumer rebuttal in response to the offer provided from GoDaddy for complaint #[redacted], in which GoDaddy states that rather than charging me $150.00 for reassembling my website, they will only charge me $75.00 to do so. This is in light of the fact that the payment for the website was only 20 days late, the payment was to occur during the holiday season when many people are frantically trying engage in the relatively rare annual exercise of committing time primarily, if not solely to family celebration — and that disconnecting my website from the domain link is reasonable and sufficient for such a lack of payment, whereas deleting all my material from the server after such a short period of time is overly punitive and serves to take advantage of people during a vulnerable time in their lives. Also, it is disproportionately discriminatory in multiple ways. GoDaddy states that deleting the entire website was not intended as a punitive measure. Regardless of intention, in practice, it is a punitive measure. My website is small. There is no monetary or business reason for GoDaddy to delete the files from the server before 30 days, other than to financially take advantage of customers’ vulnerability during the holiday season. Furthermore, these terms are sexist. I am a cycling female, and while I have to juggle the holidays, and indigence, and unemployment, and feeding and sheltering myself, and dealing with the male-dominated system that has put me in and perpetuates my situation, and the holidays, and the male-instigated divorce I was so sadly reminded of on December 23 when I received my second notice, I also have to deal with the added consequence of having my hormones and therefore regions of my brain change in size and function over the course of every month. These changes affect learning, memory, and motivation across an entire month, and physiologically, can lead to altered states of consciousness multiple times a month, and fatigue for a fourth of every month. It is unethical that a corporation in a field dominated by men (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, or STEM), is allowing an automated system to put in place what are by consequence overly punitive measures for me, a cycling woman, and with which, if any other person with said life circumstances was confronted, would think and behave the same way. Because you are in a male-dominated field, and because I worked in a male-dominated STEM field for 20+ years, I strongly recommend you heed my voice here. It is also discriminatory based on age. As I alluded to above, I received my second notice on the anniversary of my ex-husband’s filing for divorce behind my back. On average, people typically have fewer psychological traumas with which to contend, the younger they are in their lifespan. As time passes, more psychological traumas accrue. Psychological traumas have significant effects on people’s behavior. Being 44 years old, I am more likely to have more psychological traumas that would require me to pause momentarily, to distract myself from reliving the trauma, and the like, than a person in their twenties. As far as contracts go, I am a very reasonable, educated person, and familiar with the law. From this vantage point, I can tell you this contractual term isn't really viable. It's not like you're a lost-and-found, and I lost my gloves at your restaurant, and it is up to the whims of your employees whether or not I get my gloves back. You are a company, responsible for ethical treatment in the realm of the particular service you are providing. Furthermore, I have the content, I just no longer have the software with which to upload it, for a variety of reasons related to my indigence. If this is part of your contract, it is a poor tax and not an ethical part of your service, and you need to change it. And finally, this gives me the opportunity to elucidate in other pragmatic ways how your actions are in practice overly punitive, and appear to simply constitute the opportunity to lord your possession of user content, over consumers’ heads. You should check back with the website owner before deleting their content, by phone, leaving a message, and providing three days to respond. After the third email notification, which I received, you should provide me three days to respond. I attempted to reply the following day, and you had already deleted all my web content. This is unacceptable. There was no reason for you to delete all my web content. All you had to do, was break the link. Here, this clarifies the following: GoDaddy should have in place multiple steps or stages in disconnecting service. Break the link, and email the customer with notification, without deleting content to the server. This provides the customer a chance to see that their website is down. Keep the content on the server for three months. Deleting the content, especially when the number of files is so small and the total space taken up is also so small, is unethical and solely for monetary gain from vulnerable people. I've never heard of anything so abrupt in my life. It's wrong. This contributes to the slow chipping away of my identity as a scientist. I demand that my website put back for free. Also, I was not impressed with the lying of your representative, saying I'd been sent eight emails (see attached). That was absolutely untrue. I was sent three emails. My website involves sensitive content regarding a civil rights complaint that affects my ability to work as an academician. I have a PhD and I am indigent and living in government-assisted housing. If you want to continue to oppress me by this overly punitive approach, you may encounter being lumped into the side of the oppressor. If you want to verify that I was an academician, or that I was married, or that I had a civil rights complaint, it's all in my web content. Everything in my life is like this. I receive unacceptable and terms and actions virtually every day of my life, and your poor business practices are just another addition to a very aversive and ugly pile, so I am very upset. It is terrorizing, traumatizing, and stressful. In the chance that you are truly attempting to provide me with a condition that you think is fair, I appreciate you going down to $75. Please understand, however, from my vantage point, and from the standpoint of ethical business practices, that it is not. You are not a loan shark business. Please behave in the manner of a reputable business practice, so that you can attain and maintain an air or reputability. Please put by website back for free, and give me the monthly ~$10/ mo payment for keeping it posted. I am happily willing to pay the fees that have passed since my website was deleted. [redacted], please cc this go GoDaddy. Sincerely yours,
Thank you for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the concerns presented by the complainant. We have reviewed this matter and would like to present the following.The complainant is not a GoDaddy customer, nor has GoDaddy entered into any relationship or agreements with the...
complainant.The complainant's concerns are regarding information posted on a third-party’s website. GoDaddy does not become involved in third-party disputes. Additionally, while GoDaddy is the registrar of record for the VOTERRECORDS.COM domain name; the domain resolves to an IP of: 104.31.78.81 which appears to be managed by Cloudflare.com. As the website files are not hosted on our servers, we have no influence over the site’s content. If the complainant has not resolved their concerns with the administrator of the website in question, they may want to reach out directly to the hosting provider to see if they have any policies in place to address these concerns.Thank you again for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the concerns presented by the complainant.Kindest regards,John M[redacted]Office of the CEO – GoDaddy

On February 8, 2015 our customer purchased GoDaddy’s Website Design Service for a 1-year term. This services enlists GoDaddy’s Professional Web Design team to create a custom website (for a one-time fee), utilizing GoDaddy’s Website Builder product as the hosting of the site. On February 8, 2016, per our customer's account preferences, GoDaddy was instructed to automatically renew the service in question upon expiration and attempted to do so in a good faith effort to honor its agreements with the customer however, the customer's financial institution declined payment. On February 18, 2016, following GoDaddy’s second failed attempt to renew the service, our customer contacted our support team requesting to re-initiate their website services. Our customer purchased a new Website Design plan for a one-year term which utilizes our newer, next-generation platform. As a courtesy due to the health circumstances our customer mentioned, GoDaddy waived $1,056.90 in design and hosting fees.RESOLUTION:GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.GoDaddy’s design team attempted to work with our customer to the best of our ability and satisfy their design needs. Our customer’s February 8, 2015 Website Design Service purchase is non-refundable. As a courtesy and one-time exception to our Refund Policy, GoDaddy has refunded in full our customer’s February 8, 2016 purchase of the new Website Design service in the amount of $422.97.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me. I will wait until for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.

This is getting absolutely ridiculous. Does GoDaddy even read the content of emails sent to them, or even this complaint? We are ABSOLUTELY not a third party, as evidenced by the cancellation notices coming to us (attached), and I have sent the requested verification (also attached) 5 TIMES! Again, even in response to this complaint, I'm receiving the SAME AUTOMATED EMAIL, with no opportunity to deal with anyone that can help. If this is not resolved IMMEDIATELY we will be taking legal action. You have put our company at risk, and it is beyond unacceptable. SEND THIS UP YOUR CHAIN OF COMMAND. NOW.
Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer's concerns.Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at [redacted].Since August 21, 2015, our customer has been utilizing GoDaddy’s Website Builder...
service to display their website. Website Builder is a proprietary, do-it-yourself, template based product to construct a website.On November 23, 2015, our customer purchased a Search Engine Visibility plan and a Get Found Essential plan, each for a 1-year term. Search Engine Visibility is a tool to assist customers with optimizing their website. Get Found is a tool to assist customers in getting their businesses listed on partner sites, search engines, and local search sites. Each of these services our customer purchased are do-it-yourself products, and are not guaranteed to increase the number of customers a user may receive. Setup instructions for Get Found are available at [redacted]On November 23, 2016, our customer’s Search Engine Visibility and Get Found plans expired and were ultimately canceled December 23, 2016 for non-payment. RESOLUTION:GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.The services our customer purchased functioned properly. At no time did our customer contact our 24/7 Customer Care team for assistance with the Get Found service. GoDaddy is unable to provide the desired refund for all the services our customer had purchased. However, as a one-time exception to our refund policy and gesture of goodwill, we have refunded our customer’s Get Found purchase in the amount of $143.88, which may take 5-7 business days to be reflected with the associated payment method.

This GODADDY account referenced was closed in 2013. GODADDY has a record of that call we made to close the account but now says they did not "validate" that account was closed. The email address that GODADDY says they sent renewals to was connected to the closed business and domain that was closed in 2013. Any emails sent would have bounced back from that closed web page. There has been no use of this account for more than 4 years. It is not right the GODADDY can just ignore the cancellation request made in 2013 and just begin charging the customer for services not delivered. It is also not true that there is a charge back pending on this account. GODADDY has been paid for services not requested or needed for the years 2017 thru 2022. I was also told that the account will not be closed until they are paid for the next 5 years. Why should we pay for 5 more years for services that were cancelled 4 years ago.This seems to be a bate and switch tactic being used by GODADDY. They show we called to cancel the account but then say they didn't cancel the account because they didn't validate the account. GODADDY has the ability to see there has been no activity on the account yet are going to charge for 5 more years. The statements presented in the response are not factual, and charging for services in the future that will not be used is not in keeping with customer protection laws.

Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer’s additional concerns.Our customer did not provide us with any further account details and as such, we have still been unable to locate an account.GoDaddy does not make collection efforts. Based on our customer’s original correspondence, it appears that our customer may be using a checking account as their payment method. GoDaddy utilizes a third-party check processing company, Certegy Check Services, Inc. for check transactions. In these transactions, Certegy will supply the funds to GoDaddy for the services or products rendered, and then in turn collect the funds directly from the customer. It appears that Certegy is attempting to collect the funds from our customer.Efforts made by Certegy are outside of GoDaddy's control, Certegy provided funds to GoDaddy required for these servicesAs previously offered, should our customer have the full credit card number or banking account, they may reach out to our Billing team who would be able to review charges to the payment method.
